Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell

Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high

Mama's dancing - baby on her shoulder

Em
Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
Em
White lightning, bound to drive you wild
Em
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
Em
"Love Me Tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles

Am                     D
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
